Thanks, Akkana, I will give this a try!
I was not able to figure out how to log into a guest session from the
CLI.
Googling, I found this page:
https://gist.github.com/blaisck/fe748c8a4184e752556c
and tried it, but it actually switched me into a GUI environment, and
then,
coincidentally, I had to power down the machine to get out of that session. When I tried to use the logout button, it just didn't respond, and stayed in the GUI session. How do I log into the guest session from the CLI, please?
Did you try the suggestions I already gave? Ctrl-alt-f2 or ssh? What happened?
Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I tried to use ctrl-alt-f4 but I didn't know what the name of the guest session was. I am not trying to log into the guest account, but rather the temp guest session. I would also have to do some basic learning as to how to use the ssh commands.
I actually ran out of time, and so cheated and just re-installed the whole OS. At any rate, I figured that would probably take care of any monkey business that someone might have installed on the machine. But I clearly still have a lot of learning to do. Thanks for your efforts in trying to help me!
